  • IcyPengin Icy Pengin (@IcyPengin) reported

    ppl say ow2 is a lazy sequel but overwatch 1 was such a good game that it managed to be still decently popular even with INSANELY dogshit balance. fixing the gameplay issues and keeping the game at its core the same makes it rly good

  • GhostFireZMG 🔥⭐~Ghostfire~⭐🔥 (@GhostFireZMG) reported

    Anyone else experiencing a memory issue randomly with Overwatch?

  • AwesomeForte Awesome Forte (@AwesomeForte) reported

    I think I can officially say I don't like Overwatch 2 as much as I liked Overwatch 1. I tried to give a good shot, but I think I've given it enough time. It's hard to explain what the problem is (other than missing the Tank synergy). Feels like I'm playing with water in my ears.

  • VegetaD69 Daniel Burlew (@VegetaD69) reported

    I wanted more than anything out of Overwatch 2 (other than pve) Fix the absolute trash ranking system. They “changed it” and it is just as bad I would argue even worse. **** is a joke. Haha #Overwatch2

  • SmogDaBoi SmogDaBoi (@SmogDaBoi) reported

    @LepsMere @OverwatchCaval @Leveretti_ Overwatch Cavalry is a news account and is totally unrelated to the Overwatch developement team, and this aren't able to issue any balance patches.

  • The_ZSP The ZSP (@The_ZSP) reported

    @OooldG Possibly? I mean I'm not too sure, I do wonder what it would've been like for me if I had bought the original overwatch, maybe I would've liked it! (Though from what I've heard they had alot of issues that they changed for this game)

  • TuskiTv Tuski (@TuskiTv) reported

    im so tired of loading up overwatch 2 just to have it crash 5min into playing. Then to load it up again just for it again to timeout. Then loading it up once more FOR IT TO TIME ME OUT AGAIN

  • Rei_Tawww Tawilisss FeeshTuber 🐟 (@Rei_Tawww) reported

    So.... maybe processor is my problem why I can't play Overwatch?

  • pxnklii 𝘗𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘭𝘪𝘪 🌸 (@pxnklii) reported

  • TheActiveNoLife John (@TheActiveNoLife) reported

    @OverwatchNaeri So people who played and spent money for years now have something borderline unobtainable to people who’ve never touched the game. I see no issue with this. Also if you try to collect everything in overwatch, seek therapy you have a problem
